Legally trained oversight
Our team reviews the recipient type, applicable Alberta requirements, documents, and deadline before the assignment is dispatched.
ALBERTA · CANADA
Edmonton is our northern Alberta hub. We file King's Bench civil, family, and commercial matters at the Edmonton Law Courts at 1A Sir Winston Churchill Square, with the Court of King's Bench in the south tower and the Alberta Court of Justice in the north tower. Service ranges from downtown legislative addresses and the Whyte Avenue corridor to industrial sites in Refinery Row and registered offices out to St. Albert and Sherwood Park.

Why PCA
We don't.
Some process servers attract clients with a low initial quote, only to add charges for mileage, additional attempts, commissioning, administration, and other unexpected expenses. PCA provides a clear, flat-rate price before service begins. You know what is included and what the file will cost—no hidden fees and no surprises.
In most jurisdictions, process servers do not need a special licence. Almost anyone can take your documents and attempt service. The real risk often becomes apparent afterwards, when you need that person to prepare a complete and accurate affidavit or other proof of service.
Every assignment can involve different court rules, specific service requirements, important documents, and multiple exhibits. If the method of service or affidavit does not properly address those details, the court will reject the filing. That can delay the proceeding, increase costs, and require service to be completed again—with no guarantee the same server will get it right the second time.
PCA removes that uncertainty. Our team reviews the requirements, manages the service, and prepares or reviews the resulting proof. Your complete price and scope are confirmed before work begins.
Clear pricing. Proper service. Reliable proof. Let us show you why PCA is the first choice for professional process serving.
Our team reviews the recipient type, applicable Alberta requirements, documents, and deadline before the assignment is dispatched.
PCA drafts or reviews the affidavit and arranges commissioning where applicable. Law firms are not asked to prepare our proof or spend billable time correcting incomplete work.
The standard scope is confirmed before work begins, with meaningful updates and no hidden ordinary-attempt or travel charges.
The same accountable team coordinates related defendants, surrounding municipalities, rural addresses, and other service locations throughout Alberta.
Flat-rate pricing
$335 CAD
$335 CAD is PCA's standard flat rate for serving one defendant at one service address in Edmonton, with a standard volume of documents. There are no ordinary travel surcharges or hidden fees.
Why PCA may cost more than another serverService Area
We coordinate assignments across Edmonton and nearby communities. We confirm a transparent flat-rate quote based on the exact address, timing, and service requirements before the file proceeds.
Local Service Context
Our paralegals and law-student agents prepare the King's Bench filing package and the affidavit of service before dispatch, which is why packages clear the counter on first attempt rather than being rejected for format. King's Bench civil and family work files in the south tower at Churchill Square; Alberta Court of Justice criminal and family matters route to the north tower in the same complex, so a single visit can clear filings at both courts on the same file. Edmonton's docket leans on government, oil-and-gas regulatory work, construction litigation, and a heavy family-law volume tied to the metro's population. The seat-of-government layer is the operational complication: service at the Legislature, ministry offices, and Crown corporations needs reception clearance arranged in advance. Northern Alberta circuit work also routes through Edmonton, with files extending to Fort McMurray, Peace River, and Slave Lake, where we batch service by week to handle flight schedules and seasonal road access.
Documents We Handle
Law firms use us to save the time normally spent finding servers, giving instructions, chasing updates, and correcting incomplete proof of service. Self-represented litigants receive a clear, responsive process with the price confirmed before work begins.
Additional Court Support
The large majority of our files are process-serving assignments. Court filing and physical court-file scanning can be coordinated through the same team, so the client does not need to manage multiple vendors for one proceeding.
Primary Service
We review the applicable requirements, coordinate the service attempts, provide regular updates, and draft and review the supporting affidavit internally. Flat-rate pricing keeps the assignment simple to approve and budget.
We can arrange physical filing or lodgement at the relevant court registry and return the available confirmation, subject to the court's filing rules and applicable fees.
A court agent can attend the courthouse, access available physical records, and create digital copies in accordance with court-access rules, file availability, and applicable fees.
One-stop file support
Address searches can be coordinated when the recipient's location is uncertain.
We coordinate the required oath, commissioning, or notarization step for completion materials.
Proof of service is drafted and reviewed internally because errors can delay the proceeding.
Cross-border and Hague Convention files can be managed through the same accountable team.
Built for every client
Send the file once and reclaim the administrative time normally spent locating an agent, giving instructions, chasing attempts, arranging courthouse work, and correcting proof of service. We provide one accountable contact and regular updates throughout the assignment in Edmonton.
Formal service can feel unfamiliar and high-stakes. We explain our service process clearly, confirm a fair price before work begins, coordinate the assignment, and return organized proof of service so you are not left trying to manage multiple providers alone.
